Leaving out the terrible Fedex experience with the bed being delivered I still give this bed 3 stars. The instructions were borderline terrible. Pictures only, no written directions, so it was difficult to tell simple things such as, which side is the finished side There were some points in the directions where you really had to look because it would have you put in a dowel rod but not reference it. It also says to use a screwdriver. I used my impact drill, you definitely don’t want to hand screw some of those screws. It also says use a hammer, I suggest a rubber mallet if possible. The only part to hammer are these plastic dowels and I would think a hammer may snap them. 
Also some of the pieces cane nicked up.
Overall kind of a cheep material. I’ve built many pieces of furniture before and this one was a chore for sure. 
It was for my daughter as her first big girl bed and overall she was happy so that made it all worth it. I can’t say in all honesty I would choose this bed again.
